Chapter 2013: Depressed and Refusal to Join the Army
Huan Xuan frowned: "Liu Yu, I don't believe you are so depressed. Where have your ambitions and your Northern Expedition gone? It was Liu Laozhi who surrendered to me, not you. Up to now, you have not lost anything.
The honor and dignity of a soldier!"
Liu Yu sighed: "Huan Xuan, don't say it. For more than twenty years, I have been fighting for the Beifu military flag. I am proud to be a Beifu soldier. Even during the years when I lived in the grasslands, I have not lost this
Proud, because I traded with Murong Chui to save my comrades in the Beifu Army. I still regard myself as a Beifu soldier, thinking that one day I can return to the army and return to the Jin Dynasty. But this time, I have dominated the world for more than 20 years.
, the invincible Beifu Army surrendered like this, and I became a surrendered general forever. If a soldier loses the faith and soul in his heart, what else can support him in fighting? Murong Lan returned to Nanyan,
After all, she and I are not the same people, and the Beifu Army is no longer the Beifu Army it used to be. It’s time for me, Liu Yu, to retire to the mountains and forests."
Huan Xuan looked at Liu Yu motionless and suddenly laughed: "Liu Yu, are you afraid that I will avenge my past, or are you jealous of you and want to kill you? You think I am testing you, so you refuse.
Do you obey?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "If you want to kill me, just send your army. No matter how strong I am, I can't stop thousands of troops. Why bother to test like this? Besides, if you stay here alone, you will give me enough to kill you."
This opportunity also proves your sincerity. What I just said is from the bottom of my heart. It’s up to you to believe it or not.”
Huan Xuan frowned: "You really don't want to go back to the army or fight? You don't even want to do the Northern Expedition?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "The Northern Expedition should be a cause that only noble people can carry out. I have already been stained and am not worthy to engage in this cause anymore. You should hire someone else who is a wise man. Your subordinates are brave and good at fighting, and they surrendered to you."
Liu Laozhi and Marshal Liu are also the most powerful generals in the world. With them on your Northern Expedition, why do you need me?"
Speaking of this, Liu Yu pointed to the farmland at the foot of the mountain, where countless farmers were bending down to work. He said: "Huan Xuan, have you seen that the former sergeants who left the Beifu Army have returned to the countryside and become farmers? They all followed
I am the same, without honor, and tired of killing, because we don’t know what the meaning of fighting is, and this belief is the pillar that has supported us in fighting for so many years. If the pillar collapses and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, there will be no
Then there are tigers and wolves who can sweep the world. You are the one leading the troops. You should know that a veteran who has lost his fighting spirit cannot help you in any way."
Huan Xuan said coldly: "Then according to your statement, you are already a useless person. For a useless person, why should I keep you? I should kill you because of the past grudge."
Liu Yu laughed: "Since you are a useless person, it doesn't matter whether you live or die. Today I came to see you alone. I was rude to you in my words, but I was not ready to go back alive. My funeral arrangements
I have already confessed that I have no sons anyway. As for my two younger brothers, they have not offended you. If Huan Xuan wants your reputation, it is best to let them go and just kill me."
Huan Xuan stared at Liu Yu motionless for a long time, then sighed: "I can't see through you more and more, Liu Yu, that's all, you go back first, think about what I say, if one day you change your mind
Now, you can come back to me."
Liu Yu nodded, bowed to Huan Xuan, turned around and left. When his figure disappeared at the foot of the mountain, Huan Xuan sighed, waved his hand, and suddenly emerged from the surrounding soil.
More than a hundred underground warriors, led by Huan Zhen, held two fine steel serrated knives in their hands. They spit out the reed hollow trachea in their mouths and said bitterly: "Uncle, are you going to let him go like this?"
Huan Xuan shook his head, turned to the grove on the other side and shouted: "Old Hu, you can come down now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hundred steps away, on top of a big tree, Hu Fan, who was dressed in dead tree turf and looked the same color as those around him, came down with a big bow. He twisted his neck, bowed and retreated.
Bian Fanzhi walked out from a group of buried dead soldiers and patted the soil on his body. It was obvious that he was also hiding in the soil just now. Huan Xuan waved to Huan Zhen: "You guys, please retreat first. Bian and I will
Sir, you have something to talk about."
On the top of Garlic Mountain, only the master and servant were left. Huan Xuan stretched out, found a big rock to sit down on, and began to take off his armor: "Jingzu, do you think Liu Yu is really lost?"
To lose his fighting spirit, or to act for us? I can’t see through him anyway.”
Bian Fanzhi smiled slightly: "Liu Yu is a born warrior. Even if he dies, he will not lose his fighting spirit and will to fight. There is something in his words, Lingbao, can't you hear it?"
Huan Xuan softly said "Oh": "What did he say?"
Bian Fanzhi put away his smile and said: "He is hinting to the lord that as long as you get rid of Liu Laozhi, he is willing to come out and control Beifu for you."
Huan Xuan frowned slightly: "Where do you start with this? Do you mean to say that what he keeps saying about losing honor and losing fighting spirit is because Liu Laozhi surrendered to us?"
Bian Fanzhi smiled and said: "This is just the surface. In fact, after the Beifu Army surrendered to us, in just half a month, more than 30,000 people disarmed and returned to the fields. Although Liu Yu was the first to take the lead, now
The situation in the Beifu Army fully reflects the disappointment of the lower-level officers towards Liu Laozhi. If Liu Yu came out to take charge of Beifu at this time, he would become a surrender faction like Liu Laozhi and would not be tolerated by his companions. He thought
What we want is the entire Beifu Army, not a disloyal Beifu Army."
Huan Xuan suddenly realized: "So that's it, that is to say, Liu Yu still wants to come out to take charge of the army? However, we need to first deal with Liu Laozhi, the surrendering commander, and help him stabilize the morale of the army? But in this way, everyone in the Beifu Army will not
Will they really follow Liu Yu and hate us? We have been struggling for a long time, but we have allowed Liu Yu to truly control the Beifu Army. Isn’t that raising a tiger’s head? This is not what we want.”
Bian Fanzhi nodded: "So, we have to make a name for ourselves so that the Beifu Army can't hate us. This transfer of Liu Laozhi to Kuaiji's internal history is the first step. Liu Laozhi will definitely think that
If we want to seize his military power, we will definitely raise troops to resist. With the current situation of the Beifu Army, it is impossible for him to find anyone to follow him. Even those veteran generals will leave him. If we kill him at this time, no one can
